NOTORIETY & REWARDS
NOTORIETY AND REWARDS
- Notoriety can be gained by posting in or participating in logs, as well as making additional activity during each Activity Check cycle. Notoriety can be spent for in-game perks that will benefit the character ICly.
GAINING NOTORIETY
Notoriety can be gained in the following ways:
Starting Notoriety: All characters begin the game with 500 Notoriety and 1 Materiel.
All threads, including TDM threads: 1 Notoriety per comment
Bonus for Posts and Specific Types of Threads
These bonuses are in addition to the 1 point per comment total.
Network Post: 5 bonus Notoriety
Log Post: 20 bonus Notoriety
Thread in another player's log: 5 bonus Notoriety
Thread in an event log: 10 bonus Notoriety
The 5 comments you use for Activity Check will not count towards Notoriety gains. You may include as many posts and threads as you wish for Notoriety gains.
Notoriety can be exchanged for a variety of rewards. Some rewards are straight upgrades of existing rewards - if you wish to upgrade a reward you already possess you may simply pay the difference between the reward you have and the reward you want (for example, upgrading a Sea Sloop to an Air Schooner would require an additional 400 Notoriety)
Characters may collectively spend for major rewards such as airships. If multiple characters wish to crew a single airship, they may pool their resources to purchase an airship collectively.
At the start of the game, most of the Notoriety rewards will either be Mission or Materiel locked (indicated by italicized comments saying Mission Required or Materiel Required. This means that the item is not readily accessible to the Crimson Corsairs, and as part of the requirements for purchasing it you will need to run a player log in which you acquire the needed item or materiel to complete your purchase, or spend an additional 200 Notoriety to purchase the Materiel outright. You may use Notoriety gained from this log as part of your purchase. As the game progresses, these restrictions will loosen as the Crimson Corsairs gain in strength and resources.
Certain Notoriety rewards are only for Gods. These are marked with an italicized comment that says "Divinity Required".
NOTORIETY POINTS SUBMISSION
When accepted into this game, please make a top-level post to track all your Notoriety gains. When submitting for a Notoriety reward, reply to your top-level using the form below.
MATERIEL
Materiel is a generic term for military materials and equipment. In Viva La, Materiel represents rare items often held by the Empire that the Corsairs can consume to create powerful gear and other major constructions.
Many Notoriety rewards require players to hold Materiel to use, in general to purchase a Magic item or upgrade an existing item into a magical one, a single Materiel must be expended. All subsequent enhancements upon the same weapon do not require additional Materiel.
If a player needs Materiel, they can either purchase it with Notoriety (200 Notoriety using the "Resource" perk), or see if they can earn it in a Player Plot or log. Typically, logs will give some kind of reward, with Materiel being a common available reward for those who want it. For characters who already have Materiel and don't need more, they can trade Materiel to other players (players are free to haggle the Notoriety transfer cost however they want, a character can "buy" it off another character or it could be freely gifted). Additionally, Materiel can be used to reduce the cost of any Notoriety purchase by an additional 100. Multiple Materiel can be used in this fashion if desired. Materiel cannot be exchanged directly for more Notoriety outside of selling it to other characters.
AVAILABLE RESOURCES
The current items are available for Notoriety purchase on a first-come first-serve basis and will not require an additional player log to acquire.
-2x Soldier-class Schwert Armor
-1x Soldier-class Lanze Armor
-1x Soldier-class Feder Armor (Ace Customization: Flight)
-1x Soldier-class Zepter Armor (Ace Customization: Flight)
-2x Airship-grade Ether Stones which can be installed on ships to turn them into airships.
-4x Armor-grade Ether Stones which can be used to craft armors
-Deep Bleeder, formal Imperial leader Gaurus’s giant hook. Deep Bleeder inflicts wounds that don’t close easily, and allows the wielder to absorb the life essence of the victim to heal themselves. The weapon is is enormous two hands for a non-Giant, and more resembles a greataxe to non-Giants. 200 Notoriety
-Cruel Cutter, Gaurus’s giant carving knife. Cruel Cutter can, at the will of the wielder, ignore flesh and only cut internally. It is, theoretically, an excellent surgical item, allowing the wielder to choose what to cut and what not to cut intuitively, but it is also the size of a Buster Sword. 200 Notoriety.
